The explosion of colours and the use of three-dimensional makes it utterly unique. Inspirations that also come from his land.
The artistic message of Tony Favre contained in his works is something that goes beyond the current world, a world in balance that opens the door to fantasy. His works, full of critical details, try to defuse the times in which we live. They evoke in the observer a world of dreams in a sort of virtual journey through the shapes and colours expressed.
“Il Libro Sospeso”, one of the last works in the collection, represents a book that opens towards an ideal world where dream and reality meet, where the presence of man is only imagined and never told. Reading a book means stimulating the imagination, and in this three-dimensional work made entirely of wood, the message is clearly understood. The idea of the great Artist is an imaginary and fantastic journey, in search of something new and unexpected, perhaps retracing the dreams that were chased as children.
